Polymer Processing: Modeling and Correlations Finalized to Tailoring the Plastic Part Morphology and Properties

Abstract

to 2004, he was President of GRICU (the Italian association of university researchers in chemical engineering areas). His research has focused on the properties and processing of polymers. In particular, his research includes rheology and properties of solid polymers, and melts, analysis, and simulation of phenomena related to polymer processing and, in particular, to injection molding, problems of general interest to the processing of polymeric materials such as the crystallization kinetics at high cooling rates and high-pressure and flow-induced crystallization. He also focuses on the use of polymers for biomedical and pharmaceutical applications. The results of these activities resulted in about 200 papers published in international scientific journals and numerous communications at international conferences. He is often invited as a lecturer at conferences on polymer processing and properties all around the world. Over the years, Prof. Titomanlio has coordinated research units in several research projects of local, national, and European relevance. He
